A Queens bride-to-be was rescued by her fiancé, who, against all odds, proved to be a match as a life-saving kidney donor.

Tye Johnson, 31, gave Jarena Bates, 23, the early wedding gift on Monday in North Shore University Hospital.

Both future bride and groom were recovering at the Manhasset hospital yesterday, where they announced they were changing the date of their wedding from June to Oct. 15, 2008, which will be the first anniversary of their surgery.

“He’s my guardian angel,” said a beaming Bates, a former UPS worker, hugging Johnson. “I realize how much he loves me.”

The two met by chance but they both now believe it was destiny. “I feel like it was meant to be,” said Johnson. “Something sent me to her door” to deliver a couch for a relative. Bates opened the door and Johnson was smitten.

The couple began dating and decided to get married. They began to plan a June 2008 wedding. That was when Bates got sick and contracted nephrotic syndrome, which began destroying her kidneys.

In May, Bates was forced to go to the emergency room at Long Island Jewish Hospital, where she went into kidney failure from the mysterious malady and needed a donor.

Johnson said he wanted to be tested, even though the odds were against him. Incredibly, doctors discovered he was a perfect match.

“I felt like my prayers were answered,” said Johnson. “I knew right then that our search was over.”
